[games_access] Why Apple's Tablet Will Include Gaming

[Mark Barlet]

Um, I am guessing that both you have not played with the latest iPhone?

The 3Gs as it is called here in the States is a HUGE improvement over the
prior model, with low-vision (high contrast), zoom mode, t2s, and many more
really cool thing. There are countless sites that have accessibility
breakdowns on the iPhone. Also Apple has loads of docs if you are part of
the dev community on how to use the new features.

As for the rest of this, total speculation because the new device (if there
is one) may be a beefed-up iPhone OS, or a mac OS. We will have to wait and
see. I suspect it will be a iphone os, and if that is the case it should get
all of the great features already found in the latest Iphone.

Coincidentally, AbleGamers went live with a story on this very subject this
morning... starting to think that my inbox is being hacked (kidding).
